With 7 advantages to using Microsoft Teams you can ‘change your life’ at work. This can then help to change your life at home too :).
Setting up Microsoft Teams right is key to have this change your life for the better!
Can you imagine a day when your inbox is not full? Or you are not bombarded with emails from everyone at the office / in the organization?
What would it look like to have everything together in 1 place? All the texts back and forth, the documents, the notes about the documents. If it is about that 1 project, all that info and communication is together and nothing else is taking up space.
How would it feel to not have a stack of papers, sticky notes, notebooks to have to sift thru. Your notes are easy to access, you don’t waste time sifting thru your desk to find what you need.
Would this help you arrive early (to meetings), end your work day earlier?
Maybe have less stress, less frustration?
Feel like you have accomplished something and you can see it clearly…
